the last 2 days he ate 1 small piece of anchovie, then left it alone. They i give in and stuff him with trout worms.

I have never had a ray that does not like nightcrawlers, he will eat them but not like the trout worms.. I think since he is sampling the anchoivies, i will ahve him broke in no time... I really like the idea of tying it to shrimp though.

thanks!

you really should ;)

I'm about this [--] close to buying one, but I don't know. You should have seen the look my fiance gave me when I mentioned it to her :eek3:.

She just doesn't understand dropping $350 on a fish...
 
He is looking great! Won't be long and he will be ready to go with the others.

My wife gives me the same looks, but she is great. She has no interest in my fish, except the rays.
She figures I work hard, I should be aloud to enjoy some of the rewards. Plus she works and I show
her the same respect.;)
 
mine is managing everytime to rip the worm out of the smelt/shrimp... i will keep after it. after his dosing of prazi he will be going in my main tank. So by then i hope he will start eating shrimp or smelt.
 
Maybe the competition for food with other rays will entice him to eat.
